What is the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB)?

The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) is a multi-agency partnership that promotes the development of adult safeguarding work throughout Oxfordshire.

The Board consists of senior officers nominated by each of the main agencies, who are responsible for developing and maintaining strong and effective inter-agency protocols to safeguard vulnerable adults from abuse.

Members have sufficient delegated authority to effectively represent their agency and to make decisions on their agency’s behalf.
